SMS not recognizing my words

Hi. New to blackberry but really excited for the change to a smart-phone!

I just got the Blackberry Pearl 8130 and everything has been great. However I just went to respond to a text message and realized that it was no longer recognizing my words. It was as if there was no dictionary installed. I checked in the options and it seems fine. Any ideas?

Any help should be broken down as much as you can get it. I new remember?

Thanks JasonHDD I agree someone should post with some helpful information.

Here's the weird thing...I turned the phone off and then back on, went through a bunch of options in the options icon and somehow it started working. Not sure what I did or didn't do but it is working now. However, if anyone knows why it would have done this to begin with and how to correct it I would love to know incase it happens again.

I checked the dictionary and everything was stored in there. However, it did reboot on its own yesterday and I realize now after reading through most posts that it is necessary to always turn the phone off atleast once a day to reboot. (now I know!). I think it just need to be powercycled.
